ART SHIRES IS CALLED ‘M ODEL PLAYER’ BY A. A. PREXY

Former ‘Great One* Is Star Batsman of Loop

Milwaukee First Sacker Leads League in Three Departments, Tied for First in Another and Second in Hitting: Has Acted as Peacemaker Three Times. * BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Lnitfd Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 4.—Conducting himself as a model for other players. Art Shires, one-time bad boy of the Chicago White Sox, was praised today by T. J. Hickey, American Association president, for his splendid behavior as first baseman of the Milwaukee Brewers. “Shires has set a fine example for the other players to follow;' said Hickey. “Three times this .season Shires has acted as peacemaker when "trouble seemed imminent between players and umpires. ' Before the season opened Shires said to me. ‘You won’t have any trouble with me, Mr. Hickey. I am going to behave myself.’ And he certainly has lived up to his word.” Now that Shires has proved he really can tend to his ball playing and let fighting alone, he seems to be headed back to th major leagues.

CLIFF WAGONER, who devotes much of his time making Indianapolis District Golf Association events popular, also finds time to disccmode himself for the benefit of someone else. Cliff called to tell us to mention ‘the big annual tournament to be played nekt week. He also mentioned that something was to be done about giving the amateurs who ti-y for the national open a chance in the local event. ... The Indianapolis district 54-hole tournament will be played next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be over Highland, Meridian Hills and Broadmoor in the order named. If you failed to attend the big dinner recently you missed' something. Most of the boys who were at the dinner paid their dues for the district for the coming year and if they did they are all set for the tournament as their dues take care of greens fees for the event, also the entry fee. If you did not pay your dues, you can do so at once, or even as late as starting time on Monday. Os course if you don’t want to play all the 54 holes you can enter for any of the three days. What we want to get across, is that the dues for the I. D. A. are $2 a year and that takes care of greens fees, an abundance of prizes, and so on. To be able to play those courses at the rate is a. real bargain. The next thing is, if you intend to play, you should enter and tell Cliff Wagoner, who can be reached at RI ley 9505 or on the tenth floor. Illinois building. The early bird gets the select starting time. ft Si tt Coaches at local high schools report a cash' on by boys- fho & re planning on diking part In the sixth annual Indianapolis Times Intevscholastic golf tournament at south Grove.

| When Washington shipped him to the minors last fall Shires said: ; “They knew I can play ball, but I they don’t think. I can behave my- | self. I’ll prove I’m not a trouble- ! maker and I am coming back to j the big leagues.” The latest averages of the AmeriI can Association show that Shires is ! leading the league in three departj ments, tied for the lead in another i and second in another. His record: I In batting with an average of [ First in hits with 60. First in runs batted In with 36. First in total bases with 63. Tied for lead in runs scored with 33. Playing with a minor league club i hasn’t taken anything away from Shires’ aggressive tactics on the | diamond. With the season almost one-third | over, Shires has let his fist fly just one time this season, and President Hickey absolves him of all blame. “Shires struck a spectator who rushed on the field at Kansas City and he did it to protect a player i on his club who was in danger of being attacked by fans who were swarming on the diamond/’ said Hickey. “The spectator had no business on the field and Shires was perfectly right in .protecting his teammate.” Shires is popular with Milwaukee fans and a big drawing card throughout the American Association. It has been Shires’ great playing which has helped keep Milwaukee in the thick of the race.

By United Press CARNOUSTIE, Scotland, June 4. —Jose Jurado of Argentine and Henry Cotton, young English professional, shared leadership in the British open championship today with most of the second rounds complete. They had aggregates of 147. Jurado today added a par-break-ing and record-equaling 71 to his 76 of Wednesday. Cotton scored a 72 Wednesday and a 75 today.

Rabbit and Pachyderm

Rabbit maranville, diminutive big shot of the Boston Braves Infield, never passes up a chance to show up another ballplayer. That’s why he picked on big Buzz Arlett 'above, rear), giant Phillies outfielder and a rookie at 33. The Rabbit is having one of his best years, which is a big reason why the Braves are near the top in the National League. And Arlett ts living up to advance notice with his bombastic hitting fev the Shottonmen.

Twin Feature Arranged for Harrison Ring Tracy Cox will battle Henry Falegano, Des Moines Filipino, and Harold Anderson will dash with Jack (Chief) Elkhart, in a double windup of ten rounds each on next Tuesday’s mitt card at Ft. Harrison. Captain James R. Kennedy, matchmaker, will complete his supporting card by Friday. All bouts will be to decisions. The Cox-Falegano encounter promises to test Tracy’s ability against a classy southpaw of experience. In two previous matches, Falegano proved a worthy opponent for the local junior lightweight. Their first meeting resulted in a divided press opinion and their second gave Tracy a shade. Anderson, ex-Michigan youngster who is making Indianapolis his home, will be pitted against a veteran in Elkhart, the Chicago heavyweight. It was only a few months ago that Anderson was engaging in prelim scraps, and his rise is credited to his two-fisted battling and willingness to meet all comers. TOP BOUTS CANCELED The scheduled ten-rounder between Tommy Ryan and Tim Charles and eight-rounder between Marion Youngstafel and Jack Hartledge at Riverside Wednesday night were canceled due to poor attendance. Results cf other bouts: Jimmy Foxx and Tuffv Mitchell- drew in six: Bret Waggoner knocked out Young Cofcy, first round: Jimmy Dunn and Joe Cooper drew in four: Kid Williams beat Clifford Strickler in four.

Jeby Faces Vet Dundee Middleweight Title Unofficially at Stake Tonight. By United Press NEW YORK, June 4.—Ben Jeby of New York and Vince Dundee of Baltimore will meet in a ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight for the unofficial middleweight championship of the world. With Mickey Walker, titleholder of the division under suspension by both the New York state athletic commission and the National Boxing Association, and apparently ready to abandon his title to campaign among the heavyweights, it is believed likely that tonight’s winner will be awarded recognition as champion. Neither Jeby nor Dundee would be accorded a chance of victory against Walker, but they have won recognition as the best men in the class exclusive of the champion. There is considerable doubt that Walker still can make the middleweight limit and little likelihood that he can be prevailed upon to defend the title. Both Jeby and Dundee boast victories over Len Harvey, European middleweight champion, and on the basis of their matches against the Briton, Jeby has been made a favorite for tonight’s bout. He lost a previous bout to Dundee a year ago, but has improved considerably since that time and gives promise of developing into an outstanding middleweight. Schneider in Chicago Race By United Press CHICAGO, June 4.—Louis Schneider, winner of the 500-mile Indianapolis sweepstakes; Lou Meyer, winner of the 1928 race; Fred Frame, Ralph Hepburn and others will compete in the 100-mile A.
